    Making it hard to cancel doesn’t keep customers. It just makes them angry on the way out.

The two lines that decide everything

A LinkedIn hook generator
that reads your post first.

You spent twenty minutes on a post. The story is good, the point is clear. Then you read the first line and it’s “I want to talk about something important today.” Nobody will ever reach the good part, because LinkedIn hides everything after about 210 characters behind “…more”.

This free LinkedIn hook generator works the other way round from most. You paste the whole post first. Then it writes five openings that fit what your post actually says: one that starts with a moment from your story, one that leads with your number, one that takes a clear position, one that asks a real question, and one that just says the point plainly. Each one shows whether it fits before “…more” on a phone and on desktop.

How to write a LinkedIn hook

  1. Write your post first. Hooks are easier when you know what follows them.
  2. Paste the whole post here and press Write 5 openings.
  3. Pick the opening that sounds most like you. Check it fits before “…more”.
  4. Make it the first line of your post, then copy the post into LinkedIn.

Five kinds of hooks that work

Story: drop people into a moment. “Last Tuesday a customer called to cancel.” Number: lead with a result. “We cut cancellations by 22%.” Contrarian: take a side. “Making it hard to cancel doesn’t keep customers.” Question: ask the thing your post answers. Plain truth: say the point in the simplest words.

None of them is always best. The right one depends on your post, which is why the generator writes all five.

What to avoid

Clickbait. “You won’t believe what happened.” “This changed everything.” “Stop scrolling.” People have seen these a thousand times, and they read as a trick.

Tip: A hook is a promise. If your opening says “the one question that saved our customers”, the post had better show that question. Every opening here only uses what your post says, so the promise is always one you keep.

Ask which hook wins

Questions about the LinkedIn hook generator.

What is a hook on LinkedIn?

The first one or two lines of your post. LinkedIn shows about 210 characters on desktop and about 140 on a phone before it hides the rest behind “…more”, so the hook decides whether anyone reads on.

How long should a LinkedIn hook be?

Short enough to fit before “…more”: under about 140 characters to be safe on a phone. Every opening here shows whether it fits on a phone and on desktop.

Will the hooks make things up?

No. Each opening only uses facts, numbers and moments from the post you paste. If your post has no number, the number-style hook uses your most concrete fact instead.

Is the LinkedIn hook generator free?

Yes. You get 5 free AI uses a day without an account, shared across Wiral’s free AI tools. Each use writes 5 openings.

Is my post stored?

Your post is sent to an AI model to write the openings and isn’t used to train AI. We don’t keep it.

Posting every week is the hard part.

Wiral turns a thought, a voice note or a link into three posts that sound like you, with images and carousels built in. You pick one, it goes in your queue.
